Flathead oil gallery warning

[universalgrl]

If CTL 7142 is the long fitting then by the picture it goes in the outer hole.
That's my EWAG (educated wild ass guess).
I checked the two blocks sitting in my carport (one is a C59a block) and the gallery's are wide open no restrictors or plugs.
I have never seen the oil filter installation but to my mind you would have it in line first to clean the oil then send it to the oil cooler and back to the block cleaned and cooled.
But what do I know I'm only a Sheila

Thanks Roberta, that second picture was the one. It shows the long one on the outside.

Kindly sent to me by a forum member.
See picture.

That is the missing piece of the puzzle , the pic that ties the oil filter assy in to the oil cooler assy. That will work on a universal carrier just fine.

Roberta, here's some more, all the way from near you. A spin on will do me, when the time comes.

Hmm... This has me thinking... !!

The long fitting restricts the direct internal flow to the main bearings and diverts a portion of it through the cooler, just by the fact of the fitting partially blocking the gallery.
Btw. The cooler bypass valve is to let the oil flow continue should the thick cold oil of the day refuse to flow through the long lines of the cooler system) I have installed a full flow filter in my oil cooler line so that as long as oil goes through the cooler it is getting filtered (under normal circumstances, with modern oil, it will never "not" flow.
The two fittings found in the back of a U.C. engine block are in the attached photo.
